촉매(Ag/γ-Al₂O₃) 충진형 유전체 장벽 방전 플라즈마 반응기를 이용한 질소산화물(NO_x)의 선택적 촉매 환원을 조사하였다. 촉매 상에서 간헐적으로 플라즈마를 발생시킬 때 NO_x의 환원제인 탄화수소가 부분 산화되어 알데하이드류를 생성하였으며, 알데하이드류의 높은 환원력으로 인해 촉매를 단독으로 사용한 경우에 비해 높은 NO_x 전환율을 보여주었다. 동일한 운전 조건(온도: 250 ℃; C/N: 8)에서 비교한 NO_x 저감 효율은 탄화수소(n-헵테인), 프로피온알데하이드, 뷰티르알데하이드에 대해 각각 47.5%, 92%, 96%로 나타났으며, 알데하이드류의 높은 질소산화물 환원 성능이 확인되었다. 간헐적 플라즈마 발생시 적정 조건을 파악하기 위하여, 고전압 on/off 주기를 0.5~3 min으로 조절하였고, 연속적인 플라즈마 발생의 경우와 동일한 에너지밀도에서 NO_x 저감 성능을 비교하였다. 고전압을 2 min 간격으로 on/off 하여 간헐적으로 플라즈마를 생성시켰을 때 연속적인 플라즈마 발생 대비 가장 높은 질소산화물 저감 효율이 얻어졌다. 동일한 에너지밀도에서도 간헐적 플라즈마 방전의 경우가 연속 플라즈마에 비해 높은 NO_x 저감 효율을 보이는 것은, 탄화수소가 분해되어 생성되는 알데하이드류 등의 중간생성물들이 NO_x 저감 반응에 보다 효율적으로 이용되었기 때문이다.

SCM415 alloy was implanted with nitrogen ions using plasma source ion implantation (PSII), at a dose range of $1{\times}10^{17}\;to\;6{\times}10^{17}N^{+}cm^{-2}$. Auger electron spectrometry (AES) was used to investigate the depth profile of the implanted layer. Friction and wear tests were carried out on a block-on-ring wear tester. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the micro-morphology of the worn surface. The results revealed that after being implanted with nitrogen ions, the frictional coefficient of the surface layer decreased, and the wear resistance increased with the nitrogen dose. The tribological mechanism was mainly adhesive, and the adhesive wear tended to become weaker oxidative wear with the increase in the nitrogen dose. The effects were mainly attributed to the formation of a hard nitride precipitate and a supersaturated solid solution of nitrogen in the surface layer.

In this study, nitrogen ions were implanted into STS 316L austenitic stainless steel by plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) to improve the corrosion resistance. The implantation of nitrogen ions was performed with bias voltages of -5, -10, -15, and -20 kV. The implantation time was 240 min and the implantation temperature was kept at room temperature. With nitrogen implantation, the corrosion resistance of 316 L improved in comparison with that of the bare steel. The effects of nitrogen ion implantation on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the specimen were investigated by the potentiodynamic polarization test, which was conducted in a 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ solution at $70^{\circ}C$. The phase evolution and texture caused by the nitrogen ion implantation were analyzed by an X-ray diffractometer. It was demonstrated that the samples implanted at lower bias voltages, i.e., 5 kV and 10 kV, showed an expanded austenite phase, ${\gamma}_N$, and strong (111) texture morphology. Those samples exhibited a better corrosion resistance.

Plasma immersion ion beam (PIIB) nitriding process is an environmentally benign and cost-effective process, and offers the potential of producing high dose of nitrogen ions in a way of simple, fast and economic technique for the high plasma flux treatment of large surface area with nitrogen ion source gas. In this report PIIB nitriding technique was used for nitriding on austenite stainless steel of AISI304 with plasma treatment at $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, and with the working gas pressure of $2.67{\times}10^{-1}$ Pa in vacuum condition. This PIIB process might prove the advantage of the low energy high flux of ion bombardment and enhance the tribological or mechanical properties of austenite stainless steel by nitriding, Furthermore, PIIB showed a useful surface modification technique for the nitriding an irregularly shaped three dimensional workpiece of austenite stainless steel and for the improvement of surface properties of AISI 304, such as hardness and strength

The influence of plasma discharge on the nutrient components ($NO_3$-N, $NH_4$-N, $PO_4$-P, K, Ca, and Mg) and water quality [pH, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) and electric conductivity] of hydroponic water were investigated. It was observed that the $NH_4$-N, $PO_4$-P, K, Ca, and Mg were kept at the constant concentrations for plasma discharging of 90 min. On the other hand, $NO_3$-N concentration was increased with proceeding of the plasma discharge. The increase of $NO_3$-N concentration was considered with the fact that nitric acid was created from nitrogen among supplying air for the insulation of inside of dielectric barrier. ORP and electric conductivity was increased with plasma discharging time. However, pH was decrease with what because of the generation of the nitric acid. When adjusting the hydroponic ingredients, pH and conductivity must to be considered because of the change of pH and conductivitiy with the discharging.

Data of 42 balance measurements from dry and lactating Holstein cows and blood and urine samples from 24 Japanese Black cows were collected to evaluate the potential for predicting urinary nitrogen (N) excretion from plasma urea nitrogen (PUN). Similar positive correlations were obtained between N intake and apparent N absorption in dry and lactating cows. The regression equations of N intake on urinary N excretion varied in dry and lactating cows, and the difference of urinary N excretion between dry and lactating cows was due to the N secretion into milk. Highly positive correlations were observed between urinary N contents and urinary urea N in Japanese Black cows, and urinary urea N increased with increasing PUN. There were positive correlations between N intake and PUN in dry and lactating cows, but PUN and urinary N excretion in lactating cows were higher than in dry cows. There were positive correlations between PUN and urinary N excretion per BW in dry and lactating cows. Although urinary N excretion could be calculated as (N clearance rate of kidneys)PUNBW, high N clearance rate of kidneys, such as 2.08 L/d/kg BW, may be suitable to calculate urinary N excretion in lactating cows, compared with 1.33 L/d/kg BW in dry cows.

The objectives of the trial were to investigate the effects of supplementing vitamin E (VE) on nutrient digestion, nitrogen (N) retention and plasma parameters of beef cattle in feedlot. Four growing Simmental bulls, fed with a total mixed ration composed of corn silage and concentrate mixture as basal ration, were used as the experimental animals. Four levels of VE product, i.e. 0, 150, 300, 600 mg/head/d (equivalent to 0, 75, 150, 300 IU VE/head/d), were supplemented to the basal ration (VE content 38 IU/kg dry matter) in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design as experimental treatments I, II, III and IV, respectively. Each experimental period lasted 15 days, of which the first 12 days were for pretreatment and the last 3 days for sampling. The results showed that supplementing VE did not affect the nutrient digestibility (p>0.05) whereas decreased the urinary N excretion (p<0.01), increased the N retention (p<0.05) and tended to increase the microbial N supply estimated based on the total urinary purine derivatives (p = 0.057). Supplementing VE increased the plasma concentrations of VE, glucose and triglycerol (TG) (p<0.05) and tended to increase the plasma concentration of total protein (p = 0.096) whereas did not affect the plasma antioxidant indices and other parameters (p>0.05). It was concluded that supplementing VE up to 300 IU/head/d did not affect the nutrient digestibility whereas supplementing VE at 150 or 300 IU/head/d increased the N retention and the plasma concentrations of VE and TG (p<0.05) of beef cattle.

In this paper, plasma treatment effects on a ploy(dimethyl siloxane) substrate were analyzed for the applications of stretchable silver nanowire (Ag NWs) electrodes. The oxygen plasma treated sample shows the best performance compared to nitrogen treated and untreated samples. The lowest sheet resistance and reasonable stretching capability was achieved up to 20% strain condition without open circuit fail for the oxygen plasma treated sample.

플라즈마란 고체, 액체, 기체에 이은 "4번째 상"으로서 이온화된 기체를 의미한다. 주로 용접과 네온사인에 응용 및 사용되어 왔으나, 최근 암 치료 등 의료 분야에도 적용되고 있으며, 피부에서는 콜라겐 생성 촉진, 피부 톤 개선, 피부 유해균 사멸 등 다양한 효과가 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 대기의 주성분인 질소를 활용한 화장품 제조용 플라즈마 기기를 통해 질소 플라즈마 활성종 중, 추적 평가가 용이한 nitric oxide (NO)의 양을 측정하여 플라즈마의 양적/질적 평가를 진행하였다. 효율적인 플라즈마 처리를 위해 sinking과 non sinking 법을 활용한 주입 방법을 시도한 결과, non sinking 법을 활용한 제형의 근접 처리가 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 나아가 토너와 앰플을 화장품 제형으로 선택하여 NO 플라즈마 주입 후 제형의 성상 및 주입한 플라즈마의 상태 변화를 관찰하였다. 두 제형에서 NO 플라즈마의 주입 성공량은 토너가 앰플보다 약 2 배 가량 높았으며, 시간에 따라 점진적으로 감소하여 일주일 후, 소실되는 것이 확인되었다. 사용된 질소 플라즈마는 저온(4 ℃), 실온(25 ℃), 고온(37 ℃, 50 ℃) 조건에서 토너와 앰플 제형의 안정도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 종합적으로, 본 연구는 질소 플라즈마의 화장품 가능성을 제시하고 있으며 주입된 플라즈마의 안정성 확보의 중요성을 시사하고 있다.
